weekend recap

Finally we experienced several days of absolutely spectacular weather. We sat on our deck and enjoyed some fine Hester Creek Cabernet Franc - it wasn't that exact bottle but 2003 from one of our summer trips - I found it in our closet/ pantry under the stairs. Our socializing was kept to a minimum. While we enjoy our friends and we love and need the interaction, we also recognized the need to reconnect ourselves. So, are a rough start Saturday morning the evening was restful and warm enough that we stayed out doors until after dark.

Sunday - Liturgy. Lots of guests. Visiting in the sunshine. Thankful for my community and the life sustaining words of my priest. A reminder that Sunday is the first day of the week and that we can all start anew. Again, good words for me particularly. I needed to hear the chance to start over.

The afternoon was spent finishing up the apple tree. It is almost pruned. The birds can fly through now. The lawn was cut. The lavender planted. The Pinot Gris was poured for the first time. We used the grill basket and we feasted on Thai salad w/ roasted asparagus.

Two more weeks of school.
